INDUSTRIAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN ANDHRA PRADESH

Andhra Pradesh (AP) is located in the Southern peninsula of India and has a coastline
of 974 km. The state of Andhra Pradesh is bounded by Chhattisgarh on the north,
Odisha on the northeast, Telangana and Karnataka on the west, Tamil Nadu on the
south, and the Bay of Bengal on the east.
The state has well-developed social, physical and industrial infrastructure and virtual
connectivity. It also has good power, airport, IT and port infrastructure. Andhra Pradesh
had a total installed power generation capacity of nearly 9,555 MW. The state has nine
hydro power projects under operation and one under development. The state also has
three thermal power projects under operation, two projects under development and two
projects under construction.
It is the first state in the country to have enacted the Industrial Single Window
Clearance. The Act made it compulsory for new industries to register with the singlewindow to obtain clearances quickly. It also simplified procedures for getting industrial
clearances. The state also has separate acts for development in sectors such as solar
power, electronic hardware and food processing.
